‘The stratigraphy of Unit 2 is known only from stratigraphic reports that are mainly based on cutting analyses and petrophysical interpretation.’

‘However, the petrophysical analysis shows similar porosity changes approaching a shear zone, suggesting that this is characteristic of the Boom clay, and not a peculiarity of the Kruibeke Fault Zone or methodological bias.’

‘Changes in the petrophysical characteristics therefore are not caused by compositional variations, but are believed to result from internal matrix strain (density increase, porosity reduction).’

‘Other authors have disputed that there is a systematic correlation between porosity and permeability in dolostones, or that these two petrophysical parameters are enhanced in dolostones relative to limestones.’
